  • we will do our best to dispatch the goods as soon as possible after you have placed an order, 
  • risks related to the goods pass to you on delivery;
  • ownership in the goods passes to you on payment of the fees in full; and
  • you have the same rights against us as we have against our suppliers in terms of any warranty attached to the goods or imposed by law

    Returns, Order Cancellation, and Refunds 

    • The provision of goods and services by Essentially Natural is subject to availability. In cases of unavailability, Essentially Natural will contact you with options.
    • All orders are dispatched via courier service. A delivery being delayed is not grounds for return or refund.
    • You accept that in order for us to prove delivery of an order, we do not have to prove that you personally received the goods, but rather that any person at the delivery address signed for the delivery.
    • An order can be cancelled if payment has not been made yet for the order by the customer. Once payment has been made for an order, the order can only be cancelled before the order has been dispatched by Essentially Natural. Orders that are cancelled through no fault of Essentially Natural will incur a 10% handling fee.
    • If a product is not what you ordered or damaged or broken when you receive it, kindly inform us immediately. We will then make arrangements for a replacement product to be sent to you on our account or to credit or refund you for the damaged or broken product, whichever you prefer.
